It was impossible to say exactly when things started between you and Jory, but now he was flirting with you like crazy, desperately, and you were flirting back. The courtship between you was supposed to be secret, but it wasn't. All the Stark children and most of Winterfell knew about the courtship between you and Jory.

Sometimes Theon Greyjoy or your Brother Robb would tease you mercilessly about it, but for the most part, it was just teasing. Everyone liked what you and Jory had when they got serious. However... Your mother, Catelyn Stark, or your father, Ned Stark, were not aware that you and Jory had been flirting like there was no tomorrow for a long time. Which made it a bit ironic because your mother and father seemed to be the only people in the whole of Winterfell who didn't notice the way Jory was looking at you.

Today you went to the forest for a hunting trip, all the stark children, including the girls, would be included in this trip. However, while you were passing through the forest, your horse suddenly became alarmed, reared up and made you fall. Before your father, Ned Stark, could do anything, Jory quickly jumped off his horse in front of his eyes and approached you, your father suddenly realized something, or at least suspected. It was Jory who looked very concerned, caressing your back as if he had done it dozens of times before, and looking like he was sick to his stomach that you were hurt, and none of these details didn't go unnoticed by your father.

You didn't have any serious injuries after falling off your horse, but you did hurt your leg, so you had to spend the rest of the hunting trip in your tent. At night, after everyone was asleep, Jory came to your tent. He had a tight smile on his face as he approached you and caressed the line on your cheek that had formed after you fell off your horse. he asked a little nervously.

"You're better, aren't you?"

He ran his hand through your hair.

"Your father... He suspected something between us. He questioned me."
